TIME AND DISTANCE
Results ;
1.General
1) Speed = distance / time
2) Speed and distance are directly proportional .if the speed is doubled in the same time
distance travelled will also be doubled
3) Distance and time are directly proportional . if the distance is doubled at the same
speed , time taken will also be doubled
4) Time and speed are inversely proportional. If the speed is doubled time taken to travel
the same distance will be half the original time
5) Speed = 1 m/s = 18/5 km/r
6) Speed = 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/s

2 .Train problem
Time taken by a train Of length l meter to pass a stationary object of length b meter is
the time taken to cover (l+b) meters
Time taken by a train Of length l meter to pass a pole or standing man or post is the
time taken to cover l meters
If two trains are moving in the same direction at speds u m/s and v m/s where u> v
then their relative speed is ( u v ) m/s
If two trains are moving in the opposite direction at speds u m/s and v m/s then their
relative speed is ( u +v ) m/s
If two trains of length a meter and b meter are moving in the same direction at speeds
u m/s and v m/s where u> v then the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower
train is a+ b / u-v s
If two trains of length a meter and b meter are moving in the opposite direction at
speeds u m/s and v m/s then the time taken by the trains to cross each other is a+ b /
u+v s

3. BOAT PROBLEMS
1) If b is the speed of the boat and s km/hr is the speed of the stream then the speed along
the stream (downstream) is b+s km/hr and the speed against the stream (upstream) is b-s km/hr
2)
If speed downstream is a km/hr and speed upstream is b km/hr then
Speed in still water = a+b /2 km/hr
Speed of stream = a-b /2 km/hr

4. RACES
1)
Start : if before the start of the race A is at the starting point and B is ahead of A by 10
meters, then we say that A gives B a start of 10 meters

44. A train covers a certain distance in 50 minutes, if it runs at a speed of 48 Kmph on an
average. The speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40
minutes will be
a) 50 Km/h
b) 55 Km/h
c) 60 Km/h
d) 70 Km/h
Answer : c) 60 Km/h
Solution : time =distance /speed
d/48 = 5/6 => d=40km
speed = distance /time = 40 / (4/6) = 60km
note : 50 min = 5/6 hr
45. A man covers a certain distance on scooter. Had he moved 3 Km/h faster he would
have taken 40 minutes less. If he had moved 2 Kmph slower he would have taken 40
minutes more. Find the distance (in Km)
a) 20
b) 36
c) 37.5
d) 40
Answer : d) 40
Solution :

d/s - d/s+3 = 2/3

3d / s(s+3) = 2/3
2s(s+3) = 9d..(1)

d/s-2 - d/s =2/3

2d /s(s-2) = 2/3
2s(s-2) = 6d..(2)
(1) /(2) =>

s+3/ s-2 =3/2

2s+6 = 3s-6
S=12
D=2 x 12 x 10 /6 =40km
46) A and B run a km race, their speeds being in the ratio 5:4. How much start in terms
of distance should A give B so that they both finish the race simultaneously?
a) 80 m
b) 100m
c) 120m
d) 140m
Answer : b)100m
Solution : ratio of speeds is 5:4
Ratio of distance is 500 : 400
When A covers km , B covers only 400m
A should give B , a start of 100m to finish simultaneously.
47) A takes 3mins 45secs to complete a km. B takes 4mins to complete the same 1km track.
If A and B are to participate in a race of 2 kms, how much start must give in terms of distance
so that they both finish the race simultaneously?
a)62.5m
b)120m
c) 125m
d) 130m
Answer : c) 125m
Solution : Time difference in 1 km run = 15 secs
Time difference in 2 km run = 30 secs
Distance travelled by B in 30 secs = 1000/4( 30/60) = 125
48 )
In a 100m race , A runs at 8kmph. If Agivees B a start o 4m and still beats him by
15 secs , what is the speed of B ?
a) 5kmph
b) 5.5kmph
c) 5.76kmph
d) 6kmph
Answer : c) 5.76kmph
Solution : time taken by A = (100/8000) x 60 x 60 = 45 secs
B covers 100-4 =96m in 45 +15 secs
Speed of B = 96/60 m/s

= ( 8/5 ) ( 18 / 5) km/h= 32 x 18 / 100 = 5.76

49 )
A , B and C are three contestants in a 1kmrace. If A can give B a start of 40m, and
Acan give C a start of 64m , how many meters start can B give C?
a) 25m
b) 20m
c) 30m
d0 35m
Answer : a) 25m
Solution : When A covers 1000m, B covers 960m
When A covers 1000m, C covers 936m
When B covers 1000m, C covers
936/ 960 (1000) m= 975m
B can give a start of 1000- 975 = 25m
50)
In a 100m race, A can beat B by 25m and B can beat c by 4m. in the same race , A
can beat C by
a)21mb)26m
c)28md029m
answer : c) 28m
Solution : When A covers 100m, B covers 75m
When B covers 100m, C covers 96m

When B covers 75m, C covers 96/100 ( 75) m = 72

A can beat C by 100 72 = 28 m
51) Two friends M and N start from the same point at the same time and run in the same
direction on a circular track of 352m long. If their speeds are 8 m/s and 11m/s when will they
meet again at the starting point?
a) 352s
b) 32s
c) 44s
d)none
ans : a)352s
solution : time taken for 1 full round are 352/ 8 = 44s
352/11 = 32s
Lcm = 4 x 11 x8 = 352s

52) A and B run on a circular track of length 600m with a speed of 5km/h and 2 km/h. they start
